France v England

It was expected to be a walk in the park for Les Blues in 2025 but then England had other ideas. Their last-gasp, incredible one-point victory derailed France’s Grand Slam hopes and was another fitting line in this tumultuous rivalry. The Stade de France awaits in 2026 – a cacophony of expectation, noise and revelry – and England will need your support like never before.

There may be options to upgrade to other hotels. Each option will include bed and breakfast during your stay. Choose from a range of our specially selected hotels at the next stage of the booking process.

The wrought-iron Eiffel Tower hurtles skywards and is always a point of reference, while the broad Arc de Triomphe sits nobly by the Champs-Elysees and the hulking, mysterious Notre Dame Cathedral captures the essence of another age. But there is more than that to Paris. Soak up the café life, where you can recline in a wicker chair and watch the world unfold, dine in a classic gastro restaurant, or shop for the latest must-haves in a classic fashion house. Paris is simply classic. And when the stars are aligned, there is nothing like Les Blues in the Stade de France to get the pulses racing.

There really is something special about travelling by train. There is a genuine sense of departing and arriving somewhere new which is why the Euorstar is exciting. We will have a selection of packages that include return Eurostar travel so your weekend begins as soon as it departs St Pancras. Whizz through the fields of Picardy, glide into Paris, head into a rugby adventure.

Our England Rugby House bar experience is a great way to enjoy a relaxed and informal evening to build up to a huge rugby occasion in Paris. We’ll be returning to Belushi’s (Gare du Nord), the previous venue of England Rugby Travel’s event in 2022, it's a great place to meet fellow England fans. With the chance to hear from names who have played their part in England Rugby history, there will be insight, humour and analysis. Please note due to the nature of the venue there will not be seating available for everyone.
